Bring this storm home and you'll be redeemed.  I'll give you @mappy's raise.

I’ll agree to this as long as my backyard doesn’t mix

So looking at the gfs. It has a s/w trod in the middle of the country. Hf and surface low right above Maine with some confluence. Let’s see how it fucks this up.

It’s such a broken model. Compare it with 18z. It’s become sadly unusable like the Jma and Nogaps

It's a cutter. 225 hours out on the GFS means nothing though.

We need to get this thing under 150 hours. We have been tracking it now forever and it’s still 10 days away

Canadian is remarkably similar to its 12z run.

The only thing I take from the WB 0Z GFS is the threat of a storm somewhere along the east coast next weekend.

As opposed to no storm or a shredded mess storm.

That’s about all we can take away from this

WB 0Z Can. should prevent cliff jumping for another run.

That would've been an easy regionwide 6-12" IMO

Yes, but the key takeaway again is another global model showing an east coast threat in about 10 days.

Must be like 5:1 ratio. Is this an April event ?
